I'm embarrassingly uninformed when it comes to the issue of rising insurance costs, dangers of malpractice suits, and other modern-day hazards that are affecting medical professionals these days. All that I've heard is essentially hearsay, and I'd like to read some well-written news articles or books that address these issues objectively -- that is, from a standpoint that is more analytical than political. Does anyone have any good reading suggestions? Thanks!

This is a great one for information about the issues in California. I would imagine many of the same concerns apply in other states.
